You are a good applicant, but it's important to realize just how competitive these schools are. If you are confident these schools, at least one, will accept you, by all means go for it. But I would strongly advise one or two safety schools. There are some great ones near these schools as well as two or three prestigious ones in the west. The bottom line is your chances are decent, but as challenging as things are now a safety would be smart.

Your chances are decent from the info above. How good are you at soccer? If you play at very high level(good travel team), that would drastically increase your chances. I agree that you should apply to some different schools. You basically picked the five hardest boarding schools to get into right there.

Your chances are what you make of them. You seem to me like a good candidate, but it's like in sports, sometimes the team that wins is not the one who would on paper. Everyone's chances are 50/50, the trick is to be you, and be comfortable being you, and the schools will love you. And if they don't, than you were too good to go there anyways.
